Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."The most valuable feature is the vertical scaling of the application infrastructure."
"The solution itself is perfect. It's easy to configure and we haven't had any initial issues with the hardware or power supply."
"The most valuable feature is the SSL upload."
"There are several levels of module so a company can upgrade if necessary."
"Key features include SSL Offloading, VM availability, and L7 load balancing."
"TSL and SSL offloading are both very good features."
"I like the solution's load balance with DNS intelligence."
"The product has flexible and interesting licensing options."
"Because ADC is the intermediary between the servers and the end-user application, it gives thorough information about the traffic, what the problem is."
"It's a good product because it supports all the features that ADC solutions in the market can support, like F5 solutions, for example, such as the LTM of F5."
"Content caching and content compression are good features."
"Although FortiADC has multiple features that I like, the global DNS is the most helpful. It is primarily useful for customers with huge environments and at least two data centers. FortiADC can act as your DNS server. It can check which data center has the lowest latency, and route traffic to that one. It's an intelligent DNS."
"The pricing for this solution should be reduced so that it can be more competitive."
"It's unfortunate that the network firewall isn't really a next generation firewall."
"It's hard to scale down the solution. You need to buy another product in order to do this."
"The initial setup is complex but it is manageable."
"The L7 Persistent load-balancing algorithm has not worked for me after having tested it many times with my customer's in-house application. I'd like to suggest that the company make sure that all load-balancing algorithms work properly with most applications, even those that are in-house apps."
"The product’s price could be reduced. Also, some of its features need to be more advanced."
"There is a mismatch between the number of features they are offering and the device capacity on how much it can handle."
"The user interface could be more friendly and CLI could be more like that of Fortigate."
"Because it is so generic, the documentation requires special attention. A person who has not worked on Fortinet FortiADC or a similar product will struggle to understand what the document is trying to say. The documentation could be more specific, and more detailed."
"Setup could be easier. The company's homework is to redesign those menus to configure with the smallest number of steps."
"FortiADC is complex to configure so the interface should be improved."
"I think it would be helpful if Fortinet put more video examples on their cookbook site."
